"...of Cyclocross tubular gluing, combined with a few layers of Vittoria Mastik i was really happy with the results, fingers crossed it stays good in the wet! Am guessing it would be great on road tubs, will be buying more.

"Bought these speculatively as the price had me doubting the quality, I needn't have worried, they're well made, great attention to detail in the features. I may pick up another pair, so I can keep one for the road and one for cyclocross"

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit

Service Course SL Handlebar - Short/Shallow Bend

When it comes to handlebars, tried and true aluminium remains the material of choice for many pros. In part, that’s because their bikes have to meet a minimum weight requirement.

"Didn't start too well as I ordered the Sram road version and received a Sram MTB one, and apparently they are not cross compatible, in fairness to Wiggle I've not contacted them as I figure i'll just use it on my MTB Sram XX crankset.

the CK setup for Sram is not as seamless as their standard Shimano one and seems a little makeshift rather than a design dedicated to the Sram GXP fitment, i'm a little disappointed with CK for this.

Otherwise, bearings/cups etc are all good, but time will tell how durable the spacer/washer solution is..."

"I bought this to replace an earlier version of the GXP bottom bracket, and can't believe how much the design and finish have improved over the original. It installed super easily and i've had no issues in the first few 100kms."

English vs Italian thread

How can I tell whether my current bottom bracket has an English or Italian thread? What's the difference? Are there any numbers or codes that I should look out for on my current set up (I have a 2008 Cannondale Six 13 fitted with SRAM Force gruppo (purchased in Australia). Thanks.

with a US built frame you are safe to assume you have an English thread BB, Italian thread only features on some Italian/european frames.
